The captain of the reigning Stanley Cup champions is planning a day trip to Dauphin next month.

Winnipeg’s Jonathan Toews, whose Chicago Blackhawks won the Cup for the second time in four years in June, will spend Aug. 12 in the community as part of Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart Red Ball campaign, which helps financially strapped families enrol their kids in organized sports.

The company’s Dauphin location won a contest to bring Toews to their community by collecting the most $2 Red Ball donations per transaction.

Toews will do an autograph signing at the Dauphin store from 10-11:30 a.m., then take part in an event that will include skating and skills training with local kids at Credit Union Place Arena in the afternoon.
